CANCELLING TAX BREAKS AND BENEFITS FOR THE WEALTHY

Canada is a country based on fairness. But right now, Canada’s middle class sees its hard-earned money used to give a tax break to the wealthiest Canadians.A Liberal government will cancel Stephen Harper’s tax breaks for the wealthy to give more Canadian families money to raise their kids.

THE CANADA CHILD BENEFIT

A plan for fairness to give middle class Canadian families more money to help raise their kids.A Liberal government will send families a tax-free, monthly Canada Child Benefit worth up to $533 a month per child.

TAX BREAK FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS

We’re going to give a tax break to middle class Canadians by asking the wealthiest Canadians to give a little more.A Liberal government will cut the middle class income bracket by 7% (from 22% to 20.5%) and introduce a new tax bracket of 33% for incomes over $200,000.That means you could save nearly $670 per person every year! With a maximum benefit of nearly $1350 for a couple.

What people are saying

"It was reported in the news today that the Liberal Party would not consider a coalition government with the NDP. While I understand you want to win the election, I think it is imperative that you, the NDP and the Green Party do everything in your powers to ensure the survival of Canada, which might mean cooperating with each other to make sure the Conservatives do not get any more time as our Government"
